Merchandise and Promotion
A Reptile action figure was released by Hasbro as part of a G.I. Joe line of toys, packaged with the series-themed vehicle for the toyline. The figure comes with a katana and grappling hook. Another action figure to promote Shaolin Monks was released in 2006 by Jazwares. Fully posable, it includes an alternate head, attachable tongue and a large-bladed scimitar. Reptile is also featured prominently in the introduction sequence of Mortal Kombat 4, portions of which were used in a television commercial to promote the game. In 2010, Reptile was one of several characters featured in a short video title Mortal Kombat: Rebirth, intended to promote a "reimagined MK film" concept to Warner Bros. Set in a more realistic setting and played by Richard Dorton, the character is depicted as a thirty-year-old mass murderer born with harlequin type ichthyosis who devours the heads of his victims.

Famous quotes containing the word promotion:
“Parents can fail to cheer your successes as wildly as you expected, pointing out that you are sharing your Nobel Prize with a couple of other people, or that your Oscar was for supporting actress, not really for a starring role. More subtly, they can cheer your successes too wildly, forcing you into the awkward realization that your achievement of merely graduating or getting the promotion did not warrant the fireworks and brass band.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
